A Blast from the Argentine Past

Desde El Aljibe means FROM THE [Community Water] WELL which served the function of the community gathering place and center of news, sort of similar to the THE OFFICE WATER COOLER in the USA.

Desde El Aljibe was on the air in Argentina from 2003-2011, when it was cancelled to make way for an Islamic religious program that no one wanted.

About 90% of Arab-Argentines are Christian, and the few Muslims among them are non-practicing as a rule.

There was a suspicion that the Saudi-funded Islamic Center got Desde El Aljibe cancelled.

That being said, this is a video when Desde El Aljibe was teaching about Arab Cooking, in this case the topic of Arab coffee. Cooking was a regular section of their weekly show.

No translation is really needed. I wanted to show how pervasive Arab influence is in South America.

The show was broadcast out of Buenos Aires on the Government Public TV channel 7 which meant one-third of the country could see it.

African Immigration to Argentina

This is a 4 year old video. African immigration to Argentina has increased.

The Muslims among them are responsible for most of the increase of Islam in Argentina. The native-born Arab-Argentines, who are Muslim, are either converting into Christianity or are non-practicing. Remember that around 90% of Arab-Argentines are Christian.

These Africans often go to Brazil, then move down to Argentina.

This is a more recent video.

FORGIVE MY SLOPPY TRANSLATION

What is clear is that if Argentina can take these people in, then Argentina can take in enough Palestinians to make a dent in the Mideast crisis.

Unlike the African Blacks, the Palestinian Arabs would more easily assimilate into Argentina where Arabs are roughly 8-10% of the Argentine population; and where 90% of those Arabs are Christian.

Only a will to spend some time, money, and effort is all that is blocking a Mideast peace solution.
